"Catholics in New York, 1808-1946" Exhibition
The Museum of the City of New York
This event has ended.
Catholics in New York 1808-1946, will explore the social and political history of the diverse group of people who established the formidable Catholic presence in New York. The exhibition, the first of its kind, traces their growth from a tiny religious minority to a powerful force in the city and shows how, by organizing to build their own communities, institutions, and political organizations, Catholics reshaped the fabric of life in all five boroughs. A companion illustrated publication, edited by Terry Golway and published by Fordham University Press, will be available in the Museum’s Shop.
